Topic: 69' Z/28 on eBay, Has no Tach?? (Read 5972 times)

Is this car in the database? Anybody know of this guy and his dual Camaro Z/28's? Why is there no tach. Could you even get a Z/28 without a tach. I know that no console is fine.That seems like the only real red flag. Anybody else see anything? The Trans Stamp looks kinda not correct and too clean?? Maybe not..... What about the trim tag? Danny

A tach or special instrumentation was technically a mandatory Z/28 option as of early 1969. For some reason cars were built as late as May without either so there must have been a parts shortage or many existing orders in the system at the time.

There was a thread on Team Camaro from the fella who found and purchased those cars (from one older owner), but I was unable to find the thread when I looked again? Maybe it got removed. He purchased the cars purely to resell.... but what I was able to see, looked real...

Tach and gauges were options originally. Had to be ordered. Tach became part of Z package later in the year. See Jerry M's book. "All Z's had tach and gauges" is one of those myths that refuses to die. Wish I had a nickel for every time I've heard that stated as gospel. That and the "crossram in the trunk dealer installed" one.

For what it's worth, I have an 1969 Z/28 without a factory tach. It also has no console. Also have the chassis broadcast sheet, actually only about 60% of it has survived life under the back seat. The car is an 05A car built in LA. I've talked to the original selling dealer who confirmed for me that they typically ordered Z's for inventory as cheaply as possible thus my car came without most options.
